• Chenopodium quinoa - an Indian perspective (2006, background): “Quinoa grains contain large amounts of minerals like Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn (Repo-Carrasco et al., 2003).”
• Morphological Analysis of Quinoa Germplasm Grown Under Lowland Desert Conditions (2011, background): “The Peruvian germplasm assessed by Risi and Galwey (1989a) showed a large amount of variation for SD (range = 0.”
• Yield and Quality Characteristics of Different Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) Cultivars Grown under Field Conditions in Southwestern Germany (2018, background): “The nutritional properties, especially the high protein contents or rather the well-balanced composition of proteogenic amino acids, are two of the most promising features of quinoa [63,64].”
• Genetic variability and interrelationship among various morphological and quality traits in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) (2007, background): “Apart from this, its grain is a rich source of a wide range of minerals, vitamins, oil containing large amounts of linoleate, linolenate and natural antioxidants (Koziol, 1992; Repo-Carrasco et al., 2003) and high quality protein containing ample amounts of sulphur rich amino acids (Koziol, 1992).”
• Flavonoids and other phenolic compounds in Andean indigenous grains: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule) and kiwicha (Amaranthus caudatus) (2010, background): “A close relative of quinoa, kañiwa, also has a relatively high protein content with adequate levels of essential amino acids (Repo-Carrasco et al., 2003).”
• Effect of salinity on composition, viability and germination of seeds of Chenopodium quinoa Willd (2007, background): “1992) and vitamin E (Ruales and Nair 1992; Repo-Carrasco et al. 2003; Ng and Anderson 2005).”
• Quinoa – a Model Crop for Understanding Salt-tolerance Mechanisms in Halophytes (2016, background): “Quinoa also contains a-tocopherol, vitamin E, a strong antioxidant suitable for protecting membrane fatty acids, and g-tocopherol (Espinoza et al. 2001; Repo-Carrasco et al. 2003).”
• The role of cotyledon metabolism in the establishment of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) seedlings growing under salinity (2009, background): “Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is an Andean halophytic species emerging as a potential new crop in many regions of the world due to the nutritional composition of their seeds ( Repo-Carrasco et al. 2003; Bhargava et al. 2006; Jacobsen 2007).”
